Reverse osmosis (often abbreviated RO) is a water purification technology that forces water across membranes which allows water through, but blocks unwanted molecules like ions, dissolved salts, and anything bigger.

Closed Circuit Reverse Osmosis™ — CCRO for short — is Desalitech’s breakthrough reverse osmosis process. CCRO is far more efficient and reliable than legacy reverse osmosis. It achieves much higher water recovery rates (up to 98 percent); is more energy-efficient; is inherently more reliable because it resists scaling, fouling, and biological growth; and demonstrates unmatched flexibility.

CCRO systems can achieve superior performance in any application where legacy reverse osmosis is used — and in several applications for which legacy reverse osmosis has proven impractical. This makes CCRO systems ideal for a wide range of applications across industries, including but not limited to Food and Beverage, Consumer Goods, Automotive, Chemicals and Refineries, Power Generation, Mining, Municipal Wastewater Reuse, and more.

Desalitech is helping dozens of Fortune 500 companies such as Coca Cola, Procter & Gamble, Southern California Edison and Kimberly Clark boost their financial, environmental and operational competitiveness. We have sold and installed over 100 systems on 6 continents and hold more than 150 granted patents worldwide.

Together with our loyal customers and partners, we are creating a paradigm shift in Reverse Osmosis water efficiency and reliability.

In 2016, Desalitech won the Breakthrough Water Technology Company of the Year Award by Global Water Intelligence, the industry’s leading publication and news source. In 2017, we won the Aquatech Innovation Award and the Hunter Crown Best Place to Work in the Water Industry Award. Also as of 2017, industry-leading membrane vendors, including Lanxess and Dow, have incorporated CCRO as a standard option in their system-modeling software.

We understand that most reverse osmosis users have learned to live with the shortcomings of their legacy reverse osmosis systems. They may genuinely think it is the best available option.

However, if “fine” includes wasting 15 to 30% of their incoming water with a system requiring expensive waste disposal and constant oversight, cleanings, and maintenance — all draining their bottom line — they may want to reconsider. Our customers find real opportunity in saving water and energy, reducing operating costs and meeting your sustainability goals. Maybe “fine” isn’t fine after all.

About Us

Desalitech is removing the mechanical recovery limitation of traditional RO, while extending its chemistry induced limitations.

With ReFlex systems, recovery is determined by the frequency of the purge steps that are controlled by the operating software, and not by the mechanical design and the number of stages like in a traditional reverse osmosis system. Enter 98% recovery in the control panel, and the system will initiate a purge only when 98% recovery could be achieved.

Desalitech systems can extend recovery beyond the chemistry limitation of traditional reverse osmosis by exposing the tail membranes to the maximum concentration only for short intervals rather than permanently like traditional reverse osmosis.

Reduced Energy Consumption – Unlike traditional reverse osmosis systems that operate at constant high pressure, Desalitech systems start each batch at a low pressure which is gradually increased during the batch as concentration in the systems builds up. This leads to an average pressure which is lower than the constant pressure of traditional reverse osmosis. During the purge, the concentrate is discharged at the minimum pressure, rather than at maximum pressure like in traditional reverse osmosis process.

The combination of these factors typically results in a 20% to 35% reduction of energy consumption.

Resilience and Reliability – Desalitech systems are built with single stage short membrane arrays which allows for optimal flux distribution, a higher and more precisely controlled cross flow, and concentration variations that disrupt both scaling and organic fouling growth in the system.

Unlimited Flexibility and Adaptivness – Recovery, cross flow and flux are all interconnected in traditional reverse osmosis, but completely independent in Desalitech systems. In addition, they are all fully controlled and optimized by Desalitech’s operating software in real time. The same system can deal with completely different water treatment applications and behave completely differently for each – it can treat city water in the morning, reuse waste streams in the afternoon, and act as a second pass ultrapure system in the evening.

Standard, Certified Components – Desalitech systems utilize standard high quality reverse osmosis membranes and components, with the full warranty and performance guarantee of leading vendors such as Dow, Hydranautics, Grundfos and Allen Bradley. There is no specialty or noncompliant equipment or components to a Desalitech system, and the system can be operated and maintained either by your team, your existing service providers, or by Desalitech.

Trusted Source – Desalitech is the only trusted source for Closed Circuit Desalination or ReFlex reverse osmosis. Desalitech systems are covered by patents in dozens of countries around the world, and cannot be legally offered by anyone but Desalitech and its official partners.
